Bach’s Matthew Passion is an annual fixture in the Dunedin Consort calendar and it’s a privilege to bring it once again to Wigmore Hall at the start of their 125th anniversary celebrations. This monumental work delivers the drama of Holy Week, all the while reflecting on the cosmic and theological consequences of Jesus’ life and crucifixion. An entirely one-to-a-part performance, all the players and singers become vital co-narrators alongside the peerless Nicholas Mulroy as Evangelist.
